The present investigation entitled “Screening of different genotypes of okra against major sucking pests infesting okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench)” was carried during kharif season of 2019-2020 at Central Experimental Station, Wakawali. Forty genotypes were screened against leaf hoppers, aphids and whiteflies under field condition. The genotypes showed different responses for different sucking pests. The highest mean population of leaf hoppers was recorded on the genotype Pusa Sawani (8.08), while lowest was observed on Kashi Pragati (3.93) per three leaves. In aphids, the most promising genotype was Kashi Pragati (4.90) mean population per three leaves, while genotype Pusa Sawani was most infested by aphid (7.55) per three leaves. Highest whiteflies infestation was recorded on genotype Parbhani Kranti (4.97) and lowest was noticed on genotype Kashi Pragati (2.95).
